May’s featured restaurant is Terra; it has been around since ’95 and is known as a northern favourite in the Greater Toronto Area.

With live music on Friday’s and Saturday’s, and a Sunday’Licious menu, this restaurant is one that has been constantly evolving into a better version of itself. Employing culinary creators in the kitchen and courteous servers for diners, Terra thrives for excellence. No expense has been spared, from the sparkling buttons in the tufted chairs, chandeliers and assorted wall embellishments.

Bold reds breathe in decanters while people banter back and forth, enjoying a well received meal. A basket of mixed breads and butter arrive first while you sift through their award winning wine list. The menu is loaded with choices, appetizers include salads and more. A palate cleanser of refreshing lemon ice is served before your main course. There are options for those who prefer to play it safe: risotto, chicken or others who walk on the wild side, literally: ostrich, bison.

After the plates have been removed, flaky, salted bread crisps are brought out with thin slices of parmesan. Italian style dinners are typically drawn out over time and act like occasions. This is why there is a vast selection of teas, ports and cheeses inside the dessert menu for later. Patrons of this place are of the discerning type, they enjoy the overall experience of Terra. Here, it’s the little things that count. Their only blemish is that it doesn’t accept debit. But that being said, be sure to check out May’s featured restaurant.
